| Now available on your favorite podcast app, Episode 133 of the award-winning “Stories Bigger Than Texas” reveals how the Alamo got its name. If 1836 is the year we learned to Remember the Alamo, then 1803 is the year the Alamo became the Alamo. That’s when a group of soldiers from Alamo de Parras, Mexico, settled within the walls of an old Spanish mission, and changed the course of history. The Alamo’s Senior Curator, Historian, and Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez explores why the Alamo Company came to San Antonio, how the town learned to call the mission by a new name, and why its soldiers were repeatedly called to make difficult decisions while staring down two revolutions.
